I spent a wonderful day today with about 20 other demos from the group that I'm a part of. We met with my 5th upline, Jan from Arizona. She came, despite the cold, to share her expertise and a cute book project. (I'll share that book another day.) We had a great time and lots of fun! I shared a 3 minute demo with the group. This cute little book that I shared is just one 12x12 sheet of Designer Series Paper scored, cut and folded then, held together with a little Sticky Strip.
Score along one edge at 3", 6" and 9". Turn and score at 2", 6" and 10". I marked the score lines so you can see where they are.
Cut along the 6" score line from the top edge, down 9" to the intersection of the last score line (marked on the right-hand photo above with a solid line).
Place Sticky Strip in corners at each end of 2" scored sections as shown. Fold and adhere edged. These will become the pockets in the book.
Accordion fold the other scored lines and fold as shown. Place Sticky Strip around edge as shown. Fold book in half and adhere tape. Accordion fold book together.
For the binding cut a 4" x 1-1/4" piece of coordinating card stock. Score it longways at 1/2" and 3/4". Fold along score lines. Use Sticky Strip to attach binding along folded edge of book. Book can be held closed with ribbon or a belly band. Decorate cover as desired. Fill pockets with verses, well wishes, pictures, money, etc.
Enjoy,
Barb
